VAD is operating in all Australian States and the Australian Capital Territory.
The Northern Territory parliament passed VAD laws on 27 August 2026. VAD will start operating there in early 2028. Until then, VAD is not lawful in the Northern Territory. This Toolkit will be updated in the future to include information about the new laws. In the meantime, visit End of Life Law in Australia for Northern Territory VAD information.
These resources explain Australian VAD laws in the context of aged and home care.
An online training module on this topic is available through the End of Life Law for Clinicians training program. To learn more about the training or to register visit the ELLC online training portal.Page updated 24 September 2026
